General Notes: Husband - Samuel J. Krepps


He settled on the east side of the river in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, in 1823, where Eli Leonard later lived. He carried on the saw-mill at the Jonah Cadwallader dam on Dunlap's Creek, also operating the coal banks on that property.
In 1832 he built a residence in Brownsville (the same which was later kept as the "Monongahela House" by the widow of his son, John B. Krepps) and removed to it. In 1834 he built the Valley Mills in Bridgeport. He was a prominent and public-spirited citizen, and identified with the business interests of both boroughs. About 1846 he removed to the old Krepps homestead in East Pike Run township, and soon afterwards to the Neal Gillespie farm, where he died. In 1854 he was elected to the Legislature from Washington County.
